    I disagree with the people who complain about the calculator taking too much time. It's good to see how the calculations are done as it helps with the understanding of it .It also gives you a chance of thinking about what was said and making sense of it in your head.

    I'm just now beginning to learn mass defect, I have been studying General Chemistry ⚗️🧪 which includes a little Physics and I must say once 🔂 you learn it this type of science 🔭 is a piece of cake 🍰 my friends 🎈

    As many of them are confused regarding electron mass exclusion, the species that is shown up here is a Helium nucleus which was obtained from alpha decay. Hence, it has no electrons in it. Watching the video on types of decay can provide more clarity.

    Thank you for the explanation, I can now say that calculating the mass defect is more intuitive. There is one question I'd like to ask, if you don't mind. Should the energy which has been released have a "-" sign in front of it? Some textbooks I've read have instructed the reader to do so, while others don't seem to really care.

    • @utopianice4574

      I too thought it was a little weird that a negative sign should denote a release of energy. I guess I'll just have to learn to be adaptable with any school that I attend like you mentioned. Thanks for the reply

  • @yume-e6u
    @yume-e6u 5 років тому +4

    Learnt a lot from this video, but I have a quick question:
    Why is it that the neutrons and protons must lose mass and convert it into energy in order to become a nucleus? Sorry, I'm just starting to dive into all this ^ ^;

    • @fancymonkey3195

      amazing question, need to get a answer to this.

    • @fancymonkey3195
      @fancymonkey3195 3 роки тому

      The answer lies in what does it form after the energy is released. The " binding energy has its existence on the mass defect ( mass converting into energy) so just imagine now for a second where you have no binding energy and are able to remove any number of protons or neutrons from the nucleus. This will create a havoc in the Physical world !!

  • @NixterTheCool
    @NixterTheCool 7 років тому +1

    This proved that nuclear fusion can create energy in return for a loss of mass from the quarks. I fail to understand (considering nuclear binding energy) why does nuclear fission also create energy? A simple assumption would be that fission would eat up the binding energy, and give none in return.

    • @haydenidom1255
      @haydenidom1255 5 років тому

      energy of repulsion between protons and neutrons is greater thus overcoming binding energy and the extra energy is released along with the product of the splitting of the heavy nucleus

      Christopher Kenshin Manong Yeah but it would take 1837 electrons to make up the mass of 1 proton...this means that the atomic number of the atom would be 1837( an atom is electrically neutral) .However such an atom does not exist

      mass defect is related only with nucleus of the atom so it will consists of the masses of just nucleons ( proton and neutrons ) and not electrons.

    It would be better if you just summarize all your work with a formula at the end because no body can memorize those strings of numbers you presented. Also, it is kind of senselessly to include so many significant figures in your calculation. Seeing that many numbers on the screen can only give people headache, and I guarantee nobody would actually read it number by number. You are only demonstrating how to calculate binding energy, it is the method that counts.
